Twitter

Let the Tweeting begin! I finally created a Twitter account (very easy)...a school assignment / research was the trigger. After browsing the Help page I ran across a few key items...

One thing that is good to know...be careful what you Tweet! A Tweet cannot be changed once it has been posted. Not the end of the world because there is always the delete option (which I have already had to use) that allows you to remove the Tweet and start over.

Some things are better left private...Twitter allows private Tweets or messages that can be sent to a specific person.

Twitter or Facebook...have your cake and eat it too. Twitter has a facebook application that allows you to sync your Tweets and your facebook status, now no one has to miss out on all of the great things that you do.

Privacy...Ok maybe its not a good idea for your boss to read everything that you Tweet...set your account to Private. This will force people to send you a request to allow them to see your Tweets.

Followers / ing...Followers are just what you would think, people following your Tweets, or you following their Tweets. Follow anyone that you want...anyone can follow you as well, but you can block them and they can block you as well.
